RAD:
Hi. My name's Rad,
and I wanna tell you
about the Transformers,
mechanical beings
from another world.
There's the Autobots,
the good guys,
and the Decepticons.
They're all fighting
over a tiny race of robots
called the Mini-Cons
who crash-landed on Earth
thousands of years ago,
and they're scattered
all over the planet.
The Decepticons
wanna collect them and use them
to increase their power.
But the Autobots
will put a stop to that.

MAN :
Okay, move that over here, bud.
All right, swing it further
down there.
MAN :
Move it up! All right.

( children
indistinctly speaking )
CARLOS:
Hey, what's the problem?
I don't get it.
How come it's just lying there,
sleeping instead of waking up
like the others?
Yeah, you're right, Carlos,
that is weird.
I wonder if there's something
we can do to make it respond?
( beeping )
Yeah? High Wire says
it's in a light sleep,
so the Mini-Con could wake up
any time now.
CARLOS:
Ah.
Still, it's been in a coma
like this for a couple days now.
( beeping )
Hey, I got an idea.
Okay, let's scare it.
That'll wake it up for sure.
So how are you
gonna do that?
Huh, good point.
Wait, I got another idea.
How about we throw a bucket
of water on it?
ALEXIS: Great plan.
Huh?
While we're at it,
why don't I throw
a bucket of cold of water
on your head too?
Come on, Alexis,
I was just pulling his leg.
Hey, nothing like ice water
for clearing out the cobwebs.
So next time you're woken up
from a comfy sleep
by some ice water
in the face,
remember
who thought of it first.
Now that I've got
your attention,
take my advice and leave
the poor Mini-Con alone.
It'll wake up
when it's good and ready.
( Rad chuckles )
What are you laughing at?
You were all for the idea
a minute ago.
Oh, great.
Now you're gonna turn on me too?
Hey, I've got a plan.
While you're waiting around,
how about putting a broom
to the floor
and doing something
about this mess?
It might end up looking
more like a base
and less like
your ratty bedroom.
This center belongs
to the Autobots.
Maybe a little cleaning up
would be nice.
So get to work.
Come on, Grinder,
let's let them get to it.
( Grinder buzzing )
Have fun cleaning up.
Always the last word.
♪ Transformers ♪
That about does it.
Okay, you two.
How about passing up
the trans accelerator?
Yeah, sure, Red Alert.
Right after you tell us
what it looks like.
Wait, that thing?
RED ALERT:
Yep, that's the one.
Good guess, Hot Shot.
OPTIMUS:
It's been out of commission
for some time.
Red Alert, any chance
of getting it to work?
I think so.
It won't be up and running
any time in the near future,
but if I keep
tinkering away at it,
it should pay off
in the long run.
RAD:
It seemed like
the Autobots were battling
the Decepticons
all the time,
but obviously not - .
So when they had
a little downtime,
they helped with fixing
things up around the base.
RAD: Huh?
HOT SHOT: Hey, Rad, Carlos.
You guys mind passing
that part beside you?
Huh? This?
HOT SHOT: Yeah.
Sure, Hot Shot,
no probs.
( both grunting )
Not even budging.
Well, glad
you said it first.
What's the matter
with you guys?
Can't you take
a little joke?
Huh?
See?
Way cool.
Smooth, huh? Got it off
an old spaghetti Western
I caught on one of those boxes
you call a television.
Ha, ha. Awesome. A bot that
knows how to do cowboy stunts.
( Optimus clears throat )
Huh?
I hate to break up
the fun and games, kids,
but would you mind
lending a hand, Hot Shot?
Sure.
OPTIMUS:
Thanks. Right over here.
You think there's anything
we can do to help the Autobots?
CARLOS:
Not likely.
Do you mind explaining
what you're doing, Demolisher?
Move it!
DEMOLISHER: My apologies.
I thought I should bring
this trans accelerator to you.
I had no intention of getting
in your way, Megatron.
MEGATRON:
Stop blabbering!
You must be the clumsiest oaf
I have ever encountered.
I warn you, Demolisher,
I have no need for subordinates
who get in my way.
( groans )
Heh-heh-heh.
Clumsy oaf, he says.
( guffawing )
Huh?
STARSCREAM: Incredible.
He's such a fool,
is he not, Grid?
( Mini-Con beeping )
Huh?
How embarrassing.
( Demolisher grunting )
( grunting )
( grunting )
You're even more annoying
than I imagined.
How dare you damage our base
at such a crucial time.
Remove yourself from my sight.
Oh.
Never get in my way again.
Megatron, let me explain. It was
an accident.
He's wasting his time.
Ha-ha-ha!
Oh... I'm ruined.
ALEXIS:
What's your opinion, Grinder?
Do you think this data is really
coming from the Mini-Cons?
( Grinder buzzing )
No, huh? Well, I'll keep
trying my luck, then.
CARLOS:
I'm bored out of my head.
Hey, Rad. What do say
we get some fresh air, huh?
( beeping )
You mean take Sureshock and
High Wire out in public with us?
Come on. Alexis would have a cow
if we did.
CARLOS:
Hey, don't tell me
you're scared of her, dude.
Your problem is you take her
way too seriously
for your own good.
Lighten up!
And think
science carnival, dude.
Aha! With the bots.
What do say,
are you in or what?
Oh, yeah, I'm so with you,
Carlos.
CARLOS & RAD:
All right!
( High Wire and Sureshock
beeping )
Shh.
Huh?
ALEXIS:
These aren't Mini-Cons
either, huh?
No sense buying
a lottery ticket today.
( Sparkplug beeping )
( beeping )
( upbeat theme playing )
( people speaking indistinctly )
CARLOS:
Coming through!
Hey, out of the way, man!
RAD:
Wait up, would you, Carlos?
RAD ( narrating ):
That day, the Cosmo Scope
Research Center
was having
its annual carnival.
I knew
I was supposed to be there,
but stupid me, I'd completely
forgotten about it.
CARLOS:
So, what do you wanna do first?
Well, I don't know.
( High Wire beeping )
Knock it off. Low profile,
I keep telling you.
Yeah, you can't transform
into bot mode out in public.
Whoa! Hey, settle down.
Whoa, are you crazy?
BOY :
Look, robots!
BOY :
Robots? Where? Where are they?
( both scream )
( crowd chattering
indistinctly )
Gee, I didn't realize they were
doing robotics development
here at the observatory.
MAN :
Yeah, but these models
are probably just using
a preprogrammed chip.
Heh. Pretty low-tech junk.
Ah, low-tech. Oh, yeah. right.
Heh, heh.
Well, looks like
we can stop worrying
and have ourselves
a good time.
Hmm. Still, it would've been
a whole lot of fun
to surprise someone
with our buddies, though.
( Mini-Cons beeping )
( both gasp )
Aah!
Get back here!
( beeping )
CARLOS & RAD:
Aw, no!
High Wire!
Sureshock!
Why did you guys
have to get into the act?
( High Wire beeping )
No!
Get back here, you two!
Oh, man!
Now what are we
supposed to do?
( indistinct chattering
and laughing )
( both sigh )
( bear roars )

one of these babies.
( indistinct chattering )
GIRL :
Look at the robots.
They're adorable.
Oh, wow,
they almost look real.
( giggling )
RAD:
Look at those clowns.
They're stealing the show.
Mm-hm.
( Sureshock beeping )
What's that, guys?
You're thinking
about getting into show business
or something?
( beeping )
Maybe you like it
because it's new to you,
but as far as I'm concerned,
the Transformers
are way more interesting.
What's a hot dog without a good,
healthy dose of ketchup?
Huh? Ah, it's them.
Billy? Billy.
Billy, Billy, Billy.
( groans )
What's your problem now,
Fred?
Aw, let go! Get your grimy hands
off me, would you?
My mom just washed
this shirt. Argh!
Look. Check out the bots
with Rad and Carlos.
Aw. They're probably just
some new models
fresh out of the laboratory.
You know, titillate the kiddies
with some new toys?
Argh. This stinks.
FRED: I doubt it.
Dad would've said something if
they were gonna have bots here.
Spit it out.
What are you trying to get at?
( slurping )
I don't see nothing.
Let's scope it out, Billy.
Sure, whatever.
RAD:
You know, we'd better get
Sparkplug and the others back
before anyone starts asking
too many questions.
CARLOS:
What? Already?
Aw, come on,
we have lots of time.
( Sureshock beeping )
See? You heard Sureshock.
He wants to stay.
Drop it. Come on,
hurry up and transform
back into vehicle mode.
( beeping )
( beeping )
( both gasp )
Did you see what I just saw?
Yeah, I saw it.
I definitely saw it.
I think I definitely saw it.
They must be the mutant aliens
from space
I've had so many dreams
about.
Reality check in aisle one.

BOY:
We were wondering if we could
play with them some more.
I can totally relate with you,
little dudes,
but that's all the time
we have for today.
We gotta get these bots home.
Give me a break. That "I can
relate" stuff doesn't cut it.
Aw.
Carlos is telling the truth.
We do have to get them back
to the lab
so they can have
a little nap.
( children
indistinctly speaking )
( Sureshock beeping )
Hey, you wanna play
some more, dude?
I told you a million times,
we're going home.
BILLY:
Hello, boys.
I see you got yourself some
pretty decent-looking hardware.
That bike and that skateboard
are robots too, aren't they?
( whimpers )
FRED: We saw them back there.
Saw what? Back where?
Don't give me that.
You know exactly
what we're talking about.
The alien bots
that came from a galaxy
far, far away
to invade our planet.
Fred, you're such a loser.
Billy,
follow your gut instincts.
Why don't we just fast-forward
to the part
where we capture them.
CHILDREN: Aw.
FRED: Hey! They're getting away!
What do we do?
I'll give you one guess.
'Kay.
To the hot dog stand.
We're going after them.
Come on, you goof.
Well, I tried.
Wait up, Billy!
I need something to eat first,
remember?
My blood sugar.
( Fred panting )
FRED:
Come back here! Carlos! Rad!
What are you screaming
at them for?
Forget about Carlos and Rad.
It's the bots we're after,
doofus!
Uh, yeah, sure,
I knew that.
ALL:
Huh?
( people screaming
and chattering indistinctly )
I gotcha, I gotcha!
You won't destroy
the world on my watch.
Huh? Aah! Unh!

MAN:
Hey, where is it going?
What's going on?
Aah!
Aah!

CARLOS:
Uh-oh. You've bungled this one.
Is that an invitation
to point a finger?
BOTH:
Huh?
RAD:
Hot Shot!
Man, are we glad to see you.
Do you have any idea
what kind of trouble you're in?
BOTH: Huh?
I know exactly what the two
of you have been up to.
Let's just say
a little birdie told me.
BOTH:
Huh?
Aw, busted. I thought
we'd gotten away with it.
Yeah, you would think that.
Now get these guys back
to the base on the double, okay?
CARLOS:
What, should I click my heels
together three times?
You've got all the ideas,
you do it.
Hmph.
( beeping )
Ha! A bot in the hand's
worth two in the bush.
Don't try anything funny.
Keep your hands off him!
You can't hurt our robot friend,
you get it?
Huh?
Hey, what's with them?
Leave him alone. He's never
done anything to you guys.
Run along now, kiddies,
and let the big boys
handle this one.
Better get out of the way
while you can,
otherwise something terrible
might happen to you.
Like maybe...this robot
will destroy the Earth.
You've been watching
too much TV.
Besides, everyone knows
the red robots
are always the good guys.
Okay, okay!
So maybe it wasn't
a good example.
BILLY:
Now be good little rug rats
and run along.
Because if you don't--
( boys whimpering )
Heh, heh, heh.
Huh?
Wha--?
( whimpering )
Billy. Billy.
Billy, Billy, Billy.
You're interrupting
my moment of glory.
R-Robot--
Oh, yeah,
thanks for reminding me.
Not him,
the giant metalhead.
Giant metalhead?
Like I'm stupid enough
to fall for that one.
Don't be an idiot,
all right?
( whimpering )
Huh?
A giant Metalhead!
Excuse me.
Not interrupting anything, am I?

FRED:
No, please!
I'm allergic to chromium!
( Billy & Fred whimpering )
I told you
there was a whopper!
Stay away!
Take Fred instead!
HOT SHOT:
It'd break my CPU to lose Jolt.
Friends like him
are hard to come by.
Oh! He's coming for me!

BILLY:
Hey, what's gotten
into this bot?

FRED:
Knock it off!
You're freaking me out, tin can!
Huh?

Don't look now,
but I think we have liftoff!
Oh, great!

Please, please, please!
Put us down!
I'm afraid of heights!

BILLY:
Jump for the balloon!
On the count of three!
Three!

( both gasp )
Geronimo!
No! Don't do it!
So how do we get down
from here?
Yo, Hot Shot!
Help them down from there.
I'm on it, but it's gonna
take a few minutes,
since I can't use a*mo
anywhere around here.
( cannon popping )
( grunts )
Heh, heh.
I've found my w*apon.
( chuckling )
HOT SHOT: Hey, kid.
How about letting me use
that thing for a bit?
You mind?
( chuckles )
( whimpers )
( gasping )
( upbeat theme playing )
( whimpering )
Mommy, mommy!
I saw a giant robot,
and he twirled this cannon
around his finger!
Just like on TV,
honestly!
MOTHER:
Yes, dear, that's wonderful.
Now come here
and let me wipe your nose.
( dramatic theme playing )
( tires screeching )
HOT SHOT:
Transform!
( Billy & Fred screaming )
Jolt! Over here!
Huh?
My therapist was right.
Seventy dollars an hour
does work out
to mere pennies a day.
Maybe you should be
the idea guy.
That was cool.
No, not just cool.
It was so cool it was hot.
Hey, thanks, kids.
My friend Jolt would like
to thank you all too.
BOY : Wow. Can I touch him?
BOY : How fast can he go?
BOY :
Come on, show us how it works.
I don't believe this.
RAD: Well, you should.
BOTH: Huh?
But remember,
you can't let anyone know
what happened here today,
and that means anyone.
Mm-hm.
Uh-huh.
Because who's to say
what'll happen
if you decide to blab.
Like, say for instance--
Oh, let's just say
you don't wanna mess
with that big guy's
temper.
BILLY & FRED:
Hmm?
( laughing )
We promise.
We won't tell a soul
about what happened here today.
HOT SHOT: All right, you kids.
BOTH ( in unison ):
At your service!
This Transformer's punching out
for the day.
Stand back, kids.
Don't want anyone to get hurt.
( all gasping )
HOT SHOT:
Remember, all bots
were not created equal.
Later!
I know what I saw.
This big yellow robot
transformed into a car,
and this little teeny helicopter
was whirling straight overhead.
Look, I know you think
you saw these robots,
but I'm sure you believe
they were there in front of you,
but maybe this is a good time
to open up a deal
with any underlying issues. Like
maybe stre-- Huh?
Ooh. Huh?
What?
Ye-- Hmm.
Which reminds me, could I get
your therapist's number?
I've been meaning
to deal with
some of these childhood issues
for some time now.
BILLY:
I still can't believe this whole
thing wasn't a dream, Fred.
Well, believe me, it happened.
Take a look.
That was the cannon
the giant one used to save us.
RAD:
And so, for us at least,
the carnival came
to its unhappy ending.
ALEXIS:
You get it?
You will never, ever
disobey me again!
And if you do,
you can be sure
I am not coming out
to save your sorry butts!
Oh, and one more thing
I forgot to mention.
You guys better start
cleaning.
Yeah, yeah,
we heard it before.
This is an official base
and not our own hangout.
Then lose the attitude
and get a move on.
What's her problem?
I wish she'd let up
once in a while.
Like I told you,
she's the type of person
who always needs
to get in the last word.
I can't believe how far
the Autobots have gotten
with the repairs.
Boy, those guys
are incredible.
( gasps )
Huh?
Hey, man, this is freaky.
What'd you do to make it
light up like that, Carlos?
Forget what I did
and check this out.
Hey, what do you
make of this, dude?
BOTH:
Huh?
( ominous theme playing )
What's happening?
I don't know.
It's the Mini-Con
that's been lying dormant.
BOTH:
Huh?
Hey, now what's going on?
Now what's going on?
RAD:
It was definitely
the same Mini-Con
that had been sitting here
asleep.
But at the same time,
it was hard for us to realize
what had just happened
right before our eyes.
Boy, sometimes I wish
I had a normal life.
